We’re leaving the mainland and heading for the islands for this week’s freebie giveaway. Well, I guess I don’t mean that literally (unfortunately) but we’re leaving it up to So’mace Lifestyle, a new design boutique in Honolulu, to bring the Hawaiian experience to all of us.
So’mace Lifestyle is a new gallery & shop spawned from a design service that started in 2004 by former New Yorkers Kaypee Soh and Edward Macey. The new boutique, which has a focus on sustainable and green design, is chock full of great art for your walls (wallpaper), for your floor (rugs), for your dreams (bedding) and- here’s where the prize comes in – for your sofa (pillows).
Kaypee Soh’s line of original pillows (view full collection here and here) is a mix of nature-inspired florals and graphic retro designs, all hand-printed in Washington state and hand-sewn in Hawaii. They feature 100% linen covers with a 20″ x 20″ feather/down and hypoallergenic insert. Plus, with two different, coordinated designs on each side, you can give your couch a fresh look just by flipping the pillow over. And one lucky reader will have the chance to do just that…
To win your choice of any one of the six pillows shown below, just comment on this post with the words “ALOHA” by Wednesday, February 18th at 8pm EST. And since Hawaii is such a popular honeymoon spot, we’d also love to hear where you went (or are hoping/planning to go) on your honeymoon. As you probably know, we actually left the lower 48 and headed the other direction for an Alaskan honeymoon. Not quite as warm, but it managed to be just as romantic.
So’mace Lifestyle will ship this great prize anywhere, so don’t hold back all you international pillow lovers! We’ll be picking one winner using random.org and announcing it later in the week as usual. Now, what’s Hawaiian for “good luck”?
If you’re curious, you can get more details about our giveaways here. All images courtesy of So’mace Lifestyle and Kaypee Soh

We stayed at an all-inclusive hotel on the Mayan Riviera after planning a wedding doing nothing but relaxing on the beach for a few days was nice – but it turns out that all-inclusives aren’t our cup of tea wrt vacations.

Aloha! About a year ago, my boyfriend and I went on the best trip ever to Hawaii — over two weeks in Oahu, Kauai and Maui. (Kauai was our favorite, but Maui was the most romaaaantic. :) )

ALOHA!
My husband and I travelled to the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts for our honeymoon. I went to college out there, and it’s where a good deal of our courtship took place. We enjoyed a quiet week, reminiscing about “the old days,” and eating at all of our favorite restaurants, not to mention seeing the sights that we were too poor or too busy to do as college students!
